More and more updates!

Apr 5, 1999

I've decided to take the
Music Repository offline. Click the link to find out why.
I've been working on the web page for work -- check out the
preliminary design here.

My CS406 page has will be changing
drastically in the next week or so -- we've decided to do a
tests on a distributed web server with an SQL backend instead
of a Beowulf cluster. I'm a little disappointed, but this will
still be fun (and I'll learn a lot about SQL and running web
servers to their limits).

I started a complete re-write of
Themble early last week. The
old version had some interface quirks, and the code was getting
a bit unwieldy. I've ported and cleaned up the internal
representation of E data structures from the 0.1.x source, and
written the parsing (and saving hooks) for my own proprietary
format. After that I plan on implementing exporting, and
_then_ the GTK+ interface. This should keep my code more managable,
and allow Themble to be used as a non-GUI editor also. I've chosen
to leave the web page as-is for the time being, because I've noticed
everybody likes screenshots (and I can't exactly produce them with
0.2.0 just yet).

Finally, Tim did get a new computer after all. I hope people
have been
emailing him
so he will change his
ugly-assed web page. Anyways, school is starting to pick up, and I've
been working a lot more hours at work recently, so the page may not get
updated as much anymore. Feel free to send me some
email, though.
